The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Who seeks shall find.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Only the educated are free.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
You never know what motivates you.
I take mentoring very seriously and I am on the board of an organization called Girls Write Now, where we match teen girls and writing mentors because it changes their lives.
